Two hundred and thirty-seven were packed up and given away.
Li Wei packed her small bag in her room, making sure she had all her documents, but left all her clothes behind. Then, feeling a bit tired, she lay down on the bed to catch her breath and rest.
While she was lying down, Li Lianhui came up to call her. The family meeting had concluded, and her parents told Li Wei to go downstairs.
Li Wei sat up and straightened her clothes. She thought there was no rush. Since things were already like this, she might as well just give up and not break any further. She decided to rest for a while longer. The sky wasn't going to fall. So she lay down again.
Li Lianhui stared wide-eyed. He had always looked down on his sister's slow-wittedness, but now he suddenly realized that his sister was quite heroic and fearless in the face of danger.
Li Wei lay there for another five minutes, then thought she needed to find out what was going on. She asked her younger brother, who was observing her belly and was eager to explore, "Hey, what did my mom and the others say in the end? Are they planning to kick me out of the sect, or punish me with family discipline and beat me half to death?"
Li Lianhui glanced at his sister and said, "You're probably not afraid of being expelled from the sect. Anyway, you're rich. If you beat her half to death, Brother Hua will probably come and raid your house and wipe out your family. We're scary."
Li Lianhui cleared his throat: "After my grandfather and aunt argued their case and my father hesitated, my mother finally decided to give you a chance to see what you want. She's already called Brother Hua, who's probably being interrogated down there right now..."
Li Wei quickly sat up: "Then why aren't you leaving? What are you dawdling there for?"
Li Wei quickly got out of bed and walked out, with Li Lianhui following behind, muttering, "Didn't you say you weren't in a hurry? What does it have to do with me..."
As expected, Uncle Luo and his family of three were all there, and seeing that there was no room to sit on the sofa, Da Luo quickly offered them his seat and went to stand at the back.
Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to her third aunt. She felt very uncomfortable and shifted slightly. Her mother, Cheng Min, stopped her, saying, "Sit properly. What are you doing shifting? You have no manners."
Li Wei stopped moving.
This time, Li Zhaoxing spoke first: "What are your plans, you two? Tell me first."
Li Wei looked up behind her. The two looked at each other for a moment. It was Da Luo who spoke first, his voice firm and resolute: "Marriage. Go to university if you can. Don't go if you can't." He never believed that going to university guaranteed success. He felt he could succeed whether he went or not.
Li Wei quickly added, "It would be even better if we could finish it. We finally got in after all that hard work."
Cheng Min was about to say something sarcastic when her husband stopped her: "Since you're so determined, and you've done a decent job in the past, there's no point in us parents saying anything now. For the sake of the child, we're going to let you register your marriage. But as for the wedding, forget about it. You can arrange that yourselves in the future."
Li Wei was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected this outcome. Actually, she hadn't even considered the wedding registration location. She'd wait until after graduating from university to think about it. Making a big deal out of it now wouldn't benefit anyone. She'd discussed it privately with Da Luo, and neither of them really cared about these things.
The most important thing is the understanding and support of family members.
As for the Luo family, they will completely follow the Li family's lead. As long as the child is allowed to stay, the Luo family will have no objections. If the Li family has any requests, Luo's third uncle has already stated that he will follow their instructions.
Furthermore, Uncle Luo immediately promised that once the registration was completed, he would provide a house for the Li family, and they wouldn't have to worry about anything. He would cover all the children's food, drink, and living expenses, including tuition and living costs. He would also take care of any trouble at the school...
Li Wei was so moved that she almost burst into tears on the spot. Looking at her own parents, she wondered why there was such a big difference between them.
Not to mention Li Wei, even Li Lianhui was drooling with envy, thinking to himself, if Uncle Luo were his father, could he also go out and have a good time?
The only one unmoved was Aunt Cheng Fei, who curled her lip and said, "Hmph, it's not like our family can't afford to raise a child, and you have to take care of everything. Since we're on the topic, I'll also ask, who does the company belong to in the future? I need to know who I'll be working for from now on. Is it officially nationalized, or will it continue to belong to Xiaoming? Sister, just give me a straight answer."
Cheng Fei had been keeping this to herself for a long time. She always felt that her sister's interest in Xiao Ming was a problem. If Xiao Ming really married someone else, her sister might actually confiscate Xiao Ming's secret stash of money.
For a moment, Uncle Luo was stunned. Judging from this, it seemed that the clothing company owned by Old Li's family belonged to Xiao Ming.
Luo Gang and his wife looked at Li Wei at the same time, and they really couldn't see why the Li family had given the company to their eldest daughter, especially since they had heard that Cheng Fei had been running it all along.
When people are broke, they can confidently boast about winning the lottery, but it seems many big lottery winners have secretly moved away.
Cheng Min originally came from an ordinary family. Although life was tough in the past, she didn't necessarily value money that much.
Things are different now. With assets worth tens of millions, she can't help but care. If she were to take the Luo surname from now on, and given her current frustrating and resentful situation, she would never be willing to accept it.
There's another worry: who knows if they can stay together for a lifetime? What if they break up halfway through, leaving behind a mess of debts?
So, after Li Wei went upstairs, another focus of the discussion was the handling of the company's situation between Li Wei and Cheng Fei.
It's not a matter of power or not; children are the assets of their parents. This idea has been passed down for thousands of years and is deeply rooted. This is Li Wei's own business, and she doesn't want to interfere. Cheng Fei watched coldly without saying a word.
Finally, Cheng Min, the mother, made a decisive statement: "Ownership will be confiscated, but a certain amount of dividends will be given every year. If we can live a good life in the future, we'll talk about it then."
Li Wei never cared about this; she had long since let it go. Besides, she and her husband wouldn't lack money in the future, so she immediately said, "I don't want the company anymore. Give the dividends to my aunt. My aunt has worked so hard all these years, and she doesn't even want shares. It's not easy for her. We don't need the money..."
Cheng Fei couldn't hold back any longer: "Hey, it seems like I've really lost all my status as an employee. I quit. You guys can do it yourselves."
For a moment, everyone looked at Cheng Min.
Cheng Min was furious and embarrassed: "Why are you all looking at me? We should have made things clear beforehand to avoid future conflicts. If you hadn't caused this mess yourselves, would I have bothered with all this trouble?"
Li Zhaoxing sighed, "Forget it, this is ultimately the children's own business. At a time like this, you should just relax. To be honest, you and the children haven't really worried much. Saying so much now is superfluous." If only you had put more effort into the children, things wouldn't be like this.
Hearing her husband's words only fueled Cheng Min's anger: "Fine, fine, I'm not going to get involved in this anymore. Anyway, everyone thinks I'm a bad mother, so you don't need to consult me anymore. I'm going to rest." With that, she got up and went upstairs.
Seeing that she was really going to upset her mother, which would be her fault, Li Wei quickly went over to pull her away: "Mom, who said you're not qualified? You're perfectly qualified, perfectly qualified..."
Before Li Wei could finish speaking, Cheng Min flung her arm away: "Don't pull me. I don't have a daughter as shameless as you!"
Cheng Min used too much force, and Li Wei, caught off guard, stumbled. Luckily, Da Luo was prepared. Knowing that Li's mother disliked his child, he was on guard. So, seeing the situation was bad, he quickly rushed forward to support Li Wei, breaking out in a cold sweat himself.
That's why Li Wei's mother is so anxious; anyone else would have been in a real panic.
The others were also startled, but Li Wei didn't seem to notice and continued to pull her mother up.
Cheng Min realized she had been a bit rash and hesitated for a moment before deciding not to try to break free from Li Wei's grasp.
Old Master Cheng couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Sit down! Look at you, do you look like a mother? How can you treat your child like this!"
Of all the people in the room, Cheng Min felt the most frustrated. She couldn't disobey her father, and sitting there, she felt terrible. She had already made a scene, but no one listened to her. In an instant, tears streamed down her face.
Li Wei stood there helplessly, and her third aunt quickly moved over to comfort her in-laws. After all, her family was the biggest winner now, so it was always right to be humble.
The result of the meeting was that Uncle Luo took on all the responsibilities, and Li Zhaoxing's words were all shut down by his wife. Basically, Li Wei was given to the Luo family as a two-for-one deal.
Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng were angered by their daughter and left, going back to their room.
Aunt Cheng Fei glanced at her sister, snorted, and left.
The Luo family also took their leave and were seen off by Li Zhaoxing.
Da Luo was pulled upstairs by Li Wei to discuss confidential matters, and now that no one was stopping him, everyone really couldn't imagine what major incident could possibly occur.
Luo Da, having grown up with Li Wei, naturally knew what was going on regarding Cheng Fei's company. Li Wei felt guilty towards her family and discussed it with him: "I don't want the company anymore. I'll give it to the family, and part of it to my aunt. What do you think?"
Da Luo said nonchalantly, "Whatever you want. Use my dad's for now. I'll be making money in a couple of years. Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry."
Li Wei scoffed: "I've thought about it. You said that after you graduate, you'll only get a civil service job in your major, and the salary won't be much. It's better for me to find a way to make money faster. You should just focus on your job. You don't need to worry about this."
Luo Da shrugged: "That's not necessarily true. Do you see any official who's short of money? Maybe I should go into business with my dad; that's a quick way to make money." He didn't care what he did; as long as his family needed it, he'd be a good cog in the machine.
Li Wei quickly stopped her: "No, please don't. I think doing business involves too much socializing. You should skip it. Let's both work hard and our lives won't be bad. I don't necessarily want to live a luxurious life. We can live a stable and ordinary life, and that's happiness. What do you think?"
Da Luo has never had any demands in life and is very easygoing. Or rather, he doesn't really have any ideals. Don't be fooled by the fact that he is a great young man of the new era. Now he is an old-fashioned man with his wife, children and a warm bed in his mind. He has no passion or enthusiasm.
Therefore, the motives for doing good deeds are never pure, while the reasons for doing bad deeds are always sufficient.
Now, in this soon-to-be family of four, there are basically no major issues, and Li Wei makes the decisions on most of the minor ones.
